I just gave this plugin a try, and found that it essentially achieves (to my liking) this thread’s feature request. My steps (important: I’m using the “live preview” setting… have not tried this with the edit/read-toggle config)…
- Install Hover Editor plugin
- Add a transcluded note to your working note
- “Click” the body of the transclusion block in your working note. This action will switch the state to edit/source mode
- Hover (+
<cmd>key in my case) the link to the transcluded note. Hover Editor will be revealed. - Edit note.
- Witness that (after a very short delay), your edits are reflected in the transclusion block in the parent note.
…and, you never “left” the parent note.
This all works quite well and is sufficient for my needs. I considered authoring my content to include internal links adjacent to the transclusions, to make the editing workflow even easier, but don’t really feel that need at the moment (and it’s nice that the parent note is “cleaner” without that link).
